iir it known that I, hinhoinou Umusn, n citizen oi the United States of America. residing in New York, in the borough of the .ih'onx, county and State of New ork, intro invented-certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Packages, of which the following is a specification.

'ihis invention relates to an im roved chair-package in which cigars, an more specially the more expensive styles are proeeted against. atmosp teric influences by an noiosine wrap )cr or envelop which vis -';.'=7tii3( around each individuel cigar and vd at the ends; and for this purpose the invention consists of n cignr-pscltnge comprising a cigar, a protective envelop wroppcd around the some and twlsted into cords end closed by sealing? was at the ends.

as shown in Fig. 2. The wrapper is then rolled around the cigar and the ends twistedinto cords b, as shown in Fig. 3. The twisted ends hold the wrapper in close contact with the butt and tip ends of the cigur. Each corded end is out off close to the tip and butt-ends of the cigar, as shown in Fig. 4, after which the twisted ends are dipped into liquid sealing wax or other plastic materiel that burdens after cooling and forms smell buttons 2), as shown in Fi 1. Sealing wax of white color is preferabl y employed. The sealing wax holds the wrapper in position on the cigar and produces the tight closing)" of the some around the cigar. The closely-fitting cover supports the buttons in close proximity to and on the sxiel line of, the cigsr, whereby the ends of the cigar are protected from injury. The osition of the buttons is clearly shown in Fig. l. of the drawing. When the cigar is to be smoked, either one of the solid buttons st the ti or butt end of the cigar is torn oii end tie wrapper removed from the cigar.

The buttons protect the ends of the cigrnr n ainst injury and breakage by contoctwith t e side walls of the box in. which they or contained, and the buttons aii'ord n ready means of breaking), open the package.
